If Santa Claus lets something like that slide, count yourself lucky. But don't expect it.
Nibbling at Vfe in turbulence is one thing, as long as it's quickly corrected. Reaching your hand down, pulling a handle and deliberately busting a limitation is something else.
I felt like it was pretty hardcore for the examiner to bust me on that since the rest of the ride went so well. But I can't exactly say it's unfair. I did bust a limitation. I've talked to other examiners about their opinion on it and they have all said they would have made it a talking point at the end of the ride. But not a fail.
But at the end of the day, there's nothing I can do but own it.
